TORONTO, ONT, Nov. 4-The GLOBE to-day IN an

Mr.. Chamberlain has involved Canada, one must

TO the American Congress by Mr.. Bdtterworth it

United states and In Canada-that IL
A SETTLEMENT By UNRESTRICTED RECIPROCITY.
In the earnest discussion Of that plan BY the
commissioners resides the only hope, 80 far Is We
can see, that Canada may escape from the Scylla

nOn-intercOurse that always leads to war. But Il

that they cannot agree. TO debate the latter

anew the hOpeessness OF settling the fisheries dis

man who stands In the way Of International amtty
